Is FOX turning bipartisan, or merely hoping to attack Dems from the left?

Retired congressman Dennis Kucinich is moving on to redder pastures, reportsThe Huffington Post, by jumping aboard the good ship FOX.

The long-serving Democrat and leftist gadfly will begin his stint with the conservative news outlet Thursday as a regular contributor, in a move FOX head Roger Ailes thinks will deliver a "valuable voice" to the nation's political discussion. Kucinich concurs:

"Fox News has always provided me with an opportunity to share my perspective with its enormous viewership," he said.

So does this mark a shift in FOX's politics? Not likely, saysAddicting Info's Wendy Gittleson, who sees the Kucinich add as a way of attacking the Obama administration from the left.

I for one am Glad to see Fox hiring more Democrats, it would be nice if MSLSD or the Commie News Network (CNN) would hire more right-leaning talking heads and become more balanced. Good for Fox News...

Micheal Steele, the former chairman of the RNC, is a regular talking head on MSNBC. Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, hosts the primary morning news show on MSNBC. They are treated with respect and politeness by the other pundits and hosts on the channel. Kucinich will be treated real nice when he is criticizing Obama. Once he starts expressing his views, however, he will be treated with a level of rudeness you would only find on Howard Stern prior to Fox "news" going live. How do I know? Because they are disrespectful to every moderate and liberal they interview. Hell they are even disrespectful to the Republicans who aren't bat crap crazy.

@woodtick57 No, adding right wing talking heads to MSLSD and/or CNN would make them more balanced, meaning they could be called "news" channels once again...Fox is already balanced compared to the other networks. And they broadcast actual news during the day, not talking fests like MSLSD or CNN.

Fox News has always been fair and balanced. The reason the left is constantly whining that it isn't is because they had become so used to having total control of new outlets that anything even resembling the center had become "far right".

@CaryNickel You know I war daily on here with both the left and right. I can't think of more than a handful of others who post here who would come close to being as moderate as myself. And Fox is not even in the parking lot of the stadium much on the field of being moderate.

Ignore the parties. They're just there to give us the illusion of choice. The government, in no way, represents the best interests of the people of America. Tel-Lie-Vision is owned by a half dozen corporations to tell us what to think, controlled by a very small group of people who think they own us. Their purpose is to give us the delusion of reality most are willing to accept.

Let's not forget Bob Beckel, except some Dems see him as a bad example just like some Republicans and Glenn Beck. Geraldo, and Juan Williams...but all those are just "token" hires, because you know, Fox is the only network who pretends NOT to be biased./sarcasm

I hope anyone who believes this is either good or bad first understands that ALL the news networks exist for one thing (and ONE thing only).....the almighty dollar! Elevated viewership leads to increased advertisement which leads to mo' money....now, gimme a subject that matters.....next!

@Mia No, he doesn't back up what he says with facts. He's been debunked so often there is no problem Googling lots of examples on the internet. But, most importantly, *he says* he is just entertaining and not to be taken seriously. I'd take his word for it.

@Zazziness Beck isnt for everyone. You probably wouldnt appreciate him. You have to have an open mind, a sense of humor and a desire to learn. But if you decide to decide for yourself, he is on dish on the blaze network.

Oh yes, im sure it was a serious move to be bipartison..just like having that hack sean combs back in the day was there claim to fame on not being bias and having a token 'liberal'(even tho most liberals would disagree with that notion and think guys a huge pussy) on one of their shows.its like saying, im not racist because i know a black person (aka i have a black friend man!). lol

Fox has ALWAYS offered balanced views. They are actually pretty centric. The reason they seem so far right is because ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNBC, and CNN are all far, far left wing organizations, offering little to no conservative views. So adding another Democrat to talk on the air is nothing unexpected. Now, if any of the other networks would actually hire a true conservative or libertarian for their commentary, THAT would be news. But don't hold your breath - never going to happen.

Fox has always shown both sides of a debate unlike most other Liberal media. The Liberal media refuse to voice any real opposing views because they want to keep their brainwashed electorate from hearing the truth about Obama and Democrats. How much did they talk about all the lies from fast and furious gun scandal, and the lies from Obama about our ambassador's killing. Oh that is right, they spent months dwelling on Romney's gaffes, they had no time to cover Obama's lies and corruption.
